Its been 4 days since i cut my clone and i noticed the veins at the beginning of the leafs are turning red. The same goes for the stem, from green, as it was 4 days ago, its beginning to turn red.
Anyone know what the problem is?

Your link didn't work for me. Might wanna check it. Took me to a sign-in type page.
Red-purple streaks on the stalks/stems is almost ALWAYS genetic. All my plants have had them for years. I regard it a real good sign. Didn't see that so much in the old days, before these genetic masterpieces were perfected.

Thanks for the guide. None of the pictures seem to be matching mine. It looks healthy but only had red stems and veins.

What def could it have if its only a 4 d.o. clone? and how can i fix it assuming it doesnt have roots yet.

keep it moist, and a humidity dome over it...there isnt much u can do if its still an unrooted clone...it'll get better once it roots...

allright cool.
Is there a way to find out that it's rooted beside digging it up?

my temp is 22-27degrees Celsius
under 5600 lumen's

Also, the clone was cut when the mother was approximately two weeks into flowering

thats fine...it may take a lil longer to convert back into veg.... theres no way to tell without digging up...unless u notice new growth..

next time u clone...it may be easier to place in small starter plugs or rockwool...something of that nature...and transplant into ur medium once it has rooted

it definetly grew around 1 mm from the soil.
when i put it in the soil, the lateral branches were touching the soil, now it is a few mm above the soil

That plant looks seriously stressed. The leaves should be more perky, they shouldn't be drooping like that I don't think. This is my first grow so I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination but I thougth I'd share what I've observed.

Oh, and I had red stems when I had too much heat (91f/32c) and low humidity (33%). I lowered the heat down to around 80f/26.6c and that got rid of the purple mostly but I still don't know if the purple was natural or not but it did go away after I fixed the heat issue.

sunnyD do u think its stressed?

Im a noob at this as this is only my second time cloning(first time it died) but if u think bout it its gonna be hard rooting> To turn to veg state then grow roots, if its stressed im not really surprised but i dont think i can do anything about it

they do look kinda stressed, ur light is kinda low...raise the light around 4-5 inchs away and get a dome....hopefully they perk up....

Yeah, the reddening of the stems is just a sign of stress. Don't worry about it as much, but it does look like you may be over watering that little guy a bit. Either way, it looks like it is gonna make it and it probably has a few small roots at this point.

I think i did overwater a bit in the biggining, now i mist once or twice a day and thats it and water when the pellet is drying a little.

Also, i have 5600 lumens, isnt that enough?

I do have a dome, its been in the dome since i cut it so its all good.

Oh btw guys its starting to yellow ALOT so im guessing roots are comming out :)

eek. Yellowing is a bad sign when it comes to clones. 5600 is fine for rooting, but I think you may want to cut back on your watering a bit.
